Coastal eutrophication caused by anthropogenic nutrient inputs is one of the greatest threats
to the health of coastal estuarine and marine ecosystems worldwide. Globally,∼ 24% of the …

Populations and metropolitan centers are accumulated in coastal areas around the world. In
view of the fact that they are geographically adjacent to coasts and intense anthropogenic …

Climate change threatens coral reefs by causing heat stress events that lead to widespread
coral bleaching and mortality. Given the global nature of these mass coral mortality events …

Coastal zones, the world's most densely populated regions, are increasingly threatened by
climate change stressors—rising and warming seas, intensifying storms and droughts, and …

All animals studied to date are associated with symbiotic communities of microorganisms.
These animal microbiotas often play important roles in normal physiological function and …

The use of Beneficial Microorganisms for Corals (BMCs) has been proposed recently as a
tool for the improvement of coral health, with knowledge in this research topic advancing …

Scientists have advocated for local interventions, such as creating marine protected areas
and implementing fishery restrictions, as ways to mitigate local stressors to limit the effects of …

Scleractinian corals' microbial symbionts influence host health, yet how coral microbiomes
assembled over evolution is not well understood. We survey bacterial and archaeal …

Corals live in a complex, multipartite symbiosis with diverse microbes across kingdoms,
some of which are implicated in vital functions, such as those related to resilience against …

Corals are fundamental ecosystem engineers, creating large, intricate reefs that support
diverse and abundant marine life. At the core of a healthy coral animal is a dynamic …
